Chapter 1285: The More Known You are, the More Likely You are to have Your Name Smeared
The fourth line of the sixth paragraph was an idiom, and Di Wancheng read it out softly, “The more known you are, the more likely you are to have your name smeared.”
“Brother, you’ve become more and more anxious in the way you do things because of Third Sister. It’s not exactly bad to be anxious. Under normal circumstances, we will attract the attention of the members of royalty if we reveal that two of our experts have Immortal power. But I revealed the news because Sea Sky Nurture has been absent for too long.
“Chef Supreme mentioned Sea Sky Nurture the last time I went to see him. If we reveal that we have two experts with Immortal power, the attention being placed on Sea Sky Nurture will be shifted onto us. Additionally, it will help us when we’re doing as high-profile as recruiting Creation Masters.
“I told Hao to participate in the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection and leaked the news that he will be fighting for an opportunity to become a Radiance Envoy to calm down some of the members of royalty.
“Now that the Radiance Hundred Sequence is upon us, and the Azure Envoys are here to watch it, the members of royalty don’t have time to focus on Whale Ocean Commerce.
“Now that the blood pact ultimate fight between the Sea Bliss Clan and Connected Beast Park has become the center of chatter in the Radiance Federation, we will join the topics of conversation if we join in now. Then, Iron Prison, who handles faction roles, will immediately zero in on us and start investigating us thoroughly. We cannot handle such a consequence. Before Third Sister succeeds, the only end for us will be the Sin Cleansing Pool if we are exposed.”

Di Wancheng now knew what Di Wantian and the idiom meant.
It was true that Whale Ocean Commerce was too noticeable now, and any movement would attract scrutiny from all directions.
No matter how badly Whale Ocean Commerce wanted to seize the opportunity that Connected Beast Park was offering, they could not.
Di Wancheng sighed and said, “Big Brother, I’ll return the call to Miao Zhenshan before going to see Third Sister.”
…
Di Wancheng strode out of the room, and Di Wantian continued reading quietly.
When he got to the last line that said ‘walking into a trap’, he frowned and lost the mood to continue reading.
Di Wantian actually had another reason for saying all that to Di Wancheng. The important reason was that Connected Beast Park had formed a deep relationship with the Moon Empress’ disciple. This was the only way that Connected Beast Park could have gained seven new thearch-class experts in such a short span of time.
According to Whale Ocean Commerce’s investigation into Connected Beast Park, the three thearch-class experts that had participated this time used to be only pinnacle emperor-class experts.
It seemed that it was no longer a safe choice for Whale Ocean Commerce to target Connected Beast Park’s Creation Masters. If they attracted the attention of the Moon Empress’ disciple, it was possible that Whale Ocean Commerce would slip up and reveal something.
At that moment, Di Wantian suddenly thought about the impressive Sky City. He had heard that Sky City had just as many Creation Master resources as Connected Beast Park.
Moreover, Sky City was shrouded in secrecy, and not much was known about them. As such, it would not attract much attention if Sky City lost some Creation Master resources now.
Di Wantian decided to look into Sky City and find an opportunity to interact with the City Lord of Sky City.
Something flashed past Di Wantian’s eyes.
Miao Zhenshan did not have to wait long before he received Di Wancheng’s response. It was fair to say that it disappointed him greatly.
There were only two paths Miao Zhenshan could have gone down. One of the paths was to use their connection with Whale Ocean Commerce, and the other was to use their link to the Moon Empress’ disciple.
Since the route involving Whale Ocean Commerce was no longer viable, only one option was left.
Miao Zhenshan turned to Miao Zhuo and said, “Zhuo, go and contact Lin Yuan. Agree to whatever he asks for.”
Miao Zhuo hurriedly replied, “Grandfather, I will get to it now.”
Miao He hastily added, “Grandfather, I can also contact Lord Lin Yuan. Lord Lin Yuan and I—”
Before Miao He could finish speaking, Miao Zhenshan cut in and said, “He, go and call everyone in the family for a meeting in the meeting room. Your brother will handle contacting Lin Yuan.”
Miao He made an embarrassed noise of acknowledgment and reluctantly turned to fetch the rest of the family.
Miao Zhuo had only reached the doorway and had heard what Miao Zhenshan said. He knew that he was now one step ahead of Miao He and that his grandfather placed more importance on him despite his inability to evolve to a Class 4 Creation Master.
…
Lin Yuan was currently directing Red Thorn to organize the wind-type heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls.
He smiled knowingly when the phone rang. He looked at his phone and saw that the call was coming from the Miao family.
When he saw that it was Miao Zhuo and not Miao He who was calling him, he knew that Miao Zhuo now deserved a better seat at the table in Miao Zhenshan’s books.
After picking up the call, Miao Zhuo anxiously described Connected Beast Park’s current situation.
Given that Lin Yuan was pulling the strings behind all of this, he knew the Miao family’s situation better than anyone.
However, he did not interrupt Miao Zhuo. Rather, he acted like he was completely ignorant and listened intently.
After listening to Miao Zhuo for some time, Lin Yuan became certain that Miao Zhuo was trying his best to curry favor with him. Miao Zhuo told Lin Yuan every single detail candidly.
“I’ve been busy these few days and don’t have much time to spare.”
Miao Zhuo’s heart promptly sank when he heard Lin Yuan, and small beads of sweat rose on his forehead.
If Lin Yuan did not help, the Miao family would truly be doomed.
Just as Miao Zhuo’s throat started to close and he was at a loss for words, Lin Yuan added, “It won’t be difficult to resolve this matter. I will help you once I’m done with my own matters.”
Lin Yuan hung up the call.
Qi Heng had perked up his ears from the moment Lin Yuan picked up the call. However, he could not glean any useful information.
He would never have expected this young man standing before him to be the Sea Bliss Clan and Connected Beast Park’s savior.
Miao Zhuo heaved a sigh of relief when he heard what Lin Yuan said.
Since Lin Yuan gave his word, he would definitely be able to do it.
This meant that Connected Beast Park was saved.
However, Lin Yuan had said that he would only help Connected Beast Park once he was done with his matters. But if this matter were dragged on any longer, Connected Beast Park would become public enemy number one.
